Description
This opportunity comprises two separate procurements for a municipal Warehouse & Grounds department: (1) comprehensive fire‑extinguisher services—including visual inspections, re‑tagging, recharging of dry‑chemical and CO₂ units, operational and hydrostatic testing, installation of new units, labeling, and parts supply—and (2) the supply of rubber PVC safety footwear (hip‑ and knee‑height boots with steel‑toe caps) covering a full size range. Both actions were compared on a bid tabulation dated January 26 2017 and posted March 16 2017. The fire‑extinguisher contract totals about $63,688 against a $60,000 budget, while the footwear contract totals roughly $200,000, matching its budget. Only one bid was received for the fire‑extinguisher work (won by Herbert S. Hiller for inspections), and two bids were received for the footwear (winner indicated in the original PDF). Key considerations for a bidder include the need for ongoing semi‑annual inspection and testing services for fire safety equipment, as well as the ability to source large volumes of safety boots across many sizes.
• Fire‑extinguisher services: 525 inspections, multiple recharge and testing tasks, installation, parts supply.
• Safety footwear: up to 200 pairs per size, hip‑ and knee‑height, steel‑toe, PVC construction.
• Budgets: $60 k (fire) and $200 k (footwear); total potential contract value up to ~$200 k.
• Procurement status: closed bid tabulation; no submission deadline or pre‑bid information provided.
